1,900 I assume you are refering to the dead.
How many dead Iraqi fighters have there been? Tens of thousands.
1,900 is actually a very low number for a war which has lasted so long.
Coming back to Iran, you have heard of the mig 29 right? you do know Iran has ballistic missiles right? You do know that unlike Iraq, Iran has a population of around 70 million, most of whom despite hating the ayatollahs would remain loyal to their country.
The MiG 29 would be flying blind. Google AWACS and learn something.
Iran does have ballistic missile, but the US has a lot more, which are a lot more accurate.
The US doesn't even have to invade Iran, just a continued bombing campaign would work wonders.
Sure they would remain loyal to their country, so did the Japanese and Germans during WW2. Doesn't mean they wouldn't get their grill busted.
Not syaing it's a good thing, but thats the reality of the situation.
